A letter to all our boys: DEAR YOUNG BLACK BOY/TEENS

You have to start making smart choices in your life because, if you don’t, the judge won’t have any problems locking you up and throwing away the key.

FYI: They’re charging minors as adults in some cases nowadays. Trust me, they don’t care about your life. They will wash you up in a heartbeat, simply because you’re a black male.

Following the crowd will get you caught up. Trying to play the hard role will get you caught up. Trying to show out for others just to make a name for yourself will get you caught up. Stealing, robbing, selling drugs, etc…it will all catch up with you sooner or later.

The statistics for black males in prison are alarming. Give yourself a chance! Find another way!

No matter what upbringing you’ve had, it’s up to you to make a change. You can’t live your life making excuses for why you do what you do.

Prove them all wrong! Prove to yourself that you’re better than the life that was dealt to you.

Make sure you ALWAYS do the right thing always! You’re much better than that.

Choose your friend wisely.

Treat girls with respec.

Always do the right thing.

Be wise and focused at school.

Always DO YOUR BEST!

Trust your guts!

Be excellent in what you do. Being kind is cool too

YOUR LIFE MATTERS – So make sure you are intentional about everything you do daily.

God be with you!

YOU ARE GOD’S SON

Dear parents please share this post with your boys. And please continue to pray for them and all our boys! God bless us all 🙏❤️❤️

Love from Ms Olu. 😘❤️
